Stuffed Mushrooms

My version of stuffed mushrooms is probably my husband’s favorite item that I make. It is great to munch on with salad or soup for a relaxing night with a few drinks and a movie.

Tuscan-style pasta with chickpeas, zuchhini and rosemary

To utilize the zucchini from my lovely bounty from Door to Door Organics recently, I found this dish in my “Vegan Planet” cookbook. It seemed healthy and well-rounded. There was protein from the chickpeas and everything, including the pasta, was organic.

Potential SNL skit #1

Sometimes I feel like my brain is constantly seeking potential SNL skits. My preteen son has joined me in this and sometimes when we are left alone, we come up with amusing scenarios. This occurred recently at a strip mall while my husband left to get a few items from a store, leaving me in the car with my son and toddler daughter.

According to a feature on The Today Show, 50% of how happy we feel is based on genetics. We can control the other half. There is a level of hard-wiring in terms of how happy we feel, but we can work around it.

Today is Earth Day and it’s a great day to reflect on ways we can be more environmentally-conscious. Being conscious of my actions on the environment is a daily part of my life.

Talking deeply, being happier

It has been reported recently in the New York Times that those who talk deeply are happier. I’ve assumed this at some level and have always had a desire to engage deeply in conversations. Blogging about finding balance and meaning is my way of talking deeply (and not) to anyone willing to read my muses.

First signs of Spring

It’s been exciting seeing signs of Spring and being able to get started on the gardening season. I was hopeful when I saw a few new mint leaves and my bulbs start to peek out.
